  1. He may be the best guy in the world, but if he'd just go and shut the fuck up already he'd be so much better.

  2. Re:gratuitous insult on Bill Nye: We Are Not Going To Live on Mars, Let Alone Turn It Into Earth (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I couldn't stomach his Netflix show. It was just too pretentious.

  3. Re:"now"? on Facebook Now Faces a Massive Backlash. But Will Anything Change? (fortune.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The irony being that anyone who understands how these things work will know that the worst thing you can do to your image is advertise how great and definitely not corrupt you are. If you're not already corrupt, then there's no need to use such tricks in the first place. Playing the game just shows how involved and attached you are, and how much you fear losing.

  4. It's the cloud all over again on To Keep Pace With Moore's Law, Chipmakers Turn to 'Chiplets' (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    It's the cloud all over again. Isn't it?

  5. Re:No. (explaination below) on Slashdot Asks: Are DevOps, Agile, and Lean IT the Same Thing? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    "Agile" - Bullshit term

    "DevOps" - Bullshit term

    "Lean IT" - Bullshit term

    It's all just management-speak, and if there's one truth that underlies all management-speak is that it's utter bullshit.

    If you are successful in IT, you are lean/agile/devops. If you are not successful, then you are not lean/agile/devops, and should immediately transition. See what I did there? I gave you absolutely nothing of value, and no sense of direction. Management-speak. Bullshit.

  6. One thing I don't understand on Alaska's Universal Basic Income Doesn't Increase Unemployment (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Why not just give workers a $1000 tax exemption and then focus the effort on those who can't work for whatever reason? Why does the money have to circulate the government first before going back out?

  7. VLC is poorly now on VideoLAN Announces Dav1d, a New Libre and Open Source AV1 Decoder (jbkempf.com) · · Score: 1

    I had to downgrade from v3 to v2 because whatever they did to the interface has completely fucked it up.

  8. The question is .... on Trump Administration Prepares a Major Weakening of Mercury Emissions Rules (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    How do we keep all the coal emissions inside of the USA? They can emission all they want, just so long as they keep it to themselves. Dirty motherfuckers.

  9. Re:What About One Man? on California Has a New Law: No More All-Male Boards (cnn.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's not how feminism works.

  10. But Linux is dead? on Linux Now Dominates Azure (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Didn't I just read that Linux is dead and everyone is going to pull their code contributions from the kernel, essentially setting back development by years if not decades? Something about hypersensitive trans people fucking everything up? Where does that leave Microsoft?

  11. Don't regulate alcohol on Alcohol Causes One In 20 Deaths Worldwide, Says WHO (theguardian.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Don't regulate alcohol, it doesn't work. Instead, regulate treatment of alcohol-induced ailments. Can't get your stomach pumped cause you're an endless drunk? Too fucking bad. Broke every bone in your body because you're a drunk motherfuck? Too fucking bad. Seriously. Let them kill themselves and then the problem is magically gone.

  12. Re:Lag due to PKI? on Cloudflare Wants Internet Route Leaks To Be a Thing of the Past (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless you live in a part of the internet where the routes are re-calculated and re-established every time you send a packet, in which case, please do tell which ISP you use cause then I'll walk in a large circle around them.

  13. Re:Crocodiles of Children on Life In the Spanish City That Banned Cars (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    A crocodile of children snaking their way over a zebra crossing?

  14. Re:What typical 9-5? on Wharton Professor Says America Should Shorten the Work Day By 2 Hours (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Everyone runs in a circle around the concept of "unique", trying to be "unique" along with everyone else. Only they never realise the only way to be unique is to give up trying to be unique. Only then are you different from everyone else, and only then are you unique. There are many people who reach this step, but then they forget how they got there, and they immediately try to be unique again, or reinvent themselves, or whatever the fuck, only to find themselves back where they started, trying to be unique. It's ironic, but that's the human condition. Just let them do their thing, there's really nothing you can do about it either way.

  15. Re: What typical 9-5? on Wharton Professor Says America Should Shorten the Work Day By 2 Hours (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It's both. They are poor because they sit on the street selling trinkets (instead of doing real work), and they sit on the street selling trinkets because they are poor (and there's no real work to be had).

  16. All the engineers I know were 12 at one point.

  17. DoN'T FoRCE ME To DeAL WiTH MY PRoBLEMS! FuCK YoU, THAT iS UNFAiR!

  18. Smoke on the water. Fire in the sky!

  19. Ban nicotine in non-medical products? on FDA Chief Considers Ban of All Flavored E-Cigarettes (wsj.com) · · Score: 0

    Done?

  20. What the title says. The dumbasses are doing it for the money and the attention, not because they think it's fun. Just fucking do whatever you want to do and whatever you think is fun to do. Don't do what you think other people think is fun to watch you do. The people who think what you do is fun to watch, they will find you and watch what you do.

    It's the same stupid gimmick musicians have been going through for the last 60 years. Playing music is fun, playing gigs is fun, getting signed for a big music deal is fun, but then you have to start working for the money, and that's not really so fun, so you take a few drugs to make it fun again, and you enter the inevitable death-spiral until you burn out and/or commit suicide.

    But stupid people will continue to be stupid and will refuse to see the reality they live in, or learn from mistakes made by thousands upon thousands of people before them

  21. Re:Working on a more comprehensive repair on Small Leak Discovered on Russian Side of International Space Station, NASA Says (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Sticky goop flying everywhere in a confined space? How could it possibly not go wrong? Suppose you get it in your lungs?

    That'll no doubt work well in zero-G.

  23. Re:What I find strange about this whole incident on IGN Pulls Ex-Editor's Posts After Dozens More Plagiarism Accusations Surface (kotaku.com) · · Score: 1

    But does he really know his shit, or did he just find a podcast somewhere and copy that?

    This stigma is going to stick with him for a long time, and outside of self-employment I don't think the man will find work as a creative again. The internet remembers.

  24. Frank wasn't hired by the FBI, Frank accepted a deal to stay out of prison by being a slave for the FBI. Jailbreaking phones isn't a federal offence, and a single example from 1989 isn't going to hold up in today's environment.

    Hackers used to have credibility and respect in certain circles, but no one cares about those dumb fucks anymore with their endless malware and shit. Who's seriously going to hire a malicious kiddo fuck whose only desire is to smash and break, and steal anything they can get their greasy fingers on?

  25. Do I have to fork up $2300 to buy a thing you made, and then you're like "now get to fucking work making stuff for it and advertise it so our business doesn't go under, dipshit"? Who the hell is running that shit show? Steve Jobs?
